Marco Rubio Is Not a Robot Because He Broke His Molar on a Frozen Twix

Ted Cruz wants you to believe that Marco Rubio is not a true conservative—that he's just "a pretty face." In a slick new campaign ad from the Cruz campaign called Conservatives Anonymous, a group of Republican voters sit around a circle lamenting their choice at the polls. That choice, it turns out, was Rubio.

But—if the events of the last 24 hours are any indication—Rubio is not who Cruz thinks, nor is he, as critics have suggested, a robot. Would a robot chip a tooth? Because that's exactly what happened to Rubio during a flight to Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night. And it wasn't just a tooth, it was a molar, the mouth's offensive line, not those pearly whites up front.

And the next morning, according to the Journal, he ate a plate full of blueberry pancakes at Cracker Barrel? OK, so maybe Cruz is on to something with the whole pretty face thing. But at the very least we can now confirm he's no robot.
